  1. My Towing Experience: Lightning vs Ram 1500

    My brother in law is a retired airline pilot, private pilot and former Air Force pilot. I enjoy boating, cruising Puget Sound. The similarities are there. We talk and compare our preparations, weather, wind, fuel stops, alternate landing strips, safe harbors. You plan, calculate your fuel...
  2. I know why Ford can't sell all Lightnings on dealer lots.

    All positive for Lakewood Ford in Lakewood WA. Owned by Titus Will. Unfortunately they are now Titus Willā€™s used vehicle sales center and no longer sell new vehicles since I bought mine. But they service the Ford EVā€™s. Happy with my sale and service now at nearly one year out.
  3. Forward when reversing and vice versa

    Hmm, maybe that explains the picture of the Lightning that got dunked at the boat launch on a different thread
  4. Electric Towing Test: F-150 Lightning vs. Rivian R1T

    I am 68 and have been hitching, unhitching and backing up boat trailers on tricky boat ramps, and parking them in tight spaces next to the house or in a boat garage since I was 16. Now I am doing the same at charging stations. I thought I was pretty good at it until I met Ford Pro Trailer...
  5. My Towing Experience: Lightning vs Ram 1500

    I just completed my first destination towing trip with my Lightning. Here are my results. Towed my 3000 lb boat motor trailer 12 gal fuel and completely full bed of vacation and water sports gear and frunk full of luggage. 529 mi round trip back and forth across the Cascade mountain range in...
  6. Priority Update: 23-PU0110-RAD-PS

    I had 22-PU0722-DC-CHG3 last night and awoke to no radio changes! Canā€™t remember ever getting this new update though
  7. I’ve been looking forward to revealing my Stormtrooper Package Lightning!

    Nice! Love everything you did. Wish I had the talent to stuff like that and make it turn out right
  8. My Lightning might be trying to kill me

    For me my Lightning helped in the bedroom. Ever since we got it my wife canā€™t keep her hands off me šŸ˜‚ Maybe šŸ¤” my heart rate is higher too, Iā€™ll have to check.
  9. Only 50% Power available?

    Just happened here, at 57%. I went to the power distribution screen and noticed that while the front motor was pulling, the rear motor was charging. They were essentially working against each other; like it was attempting to become a "perpetual motion machine". Anyway I pulled into a parking...
  10. Is your PAAK reliable?

    It only failed once. It was just after the last recent update. They were supposedly going to ā€œactivate my PAAKā€. Ironically I have been using PAAK for six months since my first day owning the truck without a hitch. For some reason I donā€™t understand, I had to shut down my iPhone, then turn my...
  11. Poll - If you have your charge station pro installed is it working correctly ?

    I have a 22 Lariat ER and two FCSP's, one for each of my two homes. I spend the weekends at one home, weekdays at the other and they are 34 miles apart. Both FCSP's linked first time to my FPA and have worked perfectly from day one including scheduled departures on work days. I have seven...
  12. 10k mile service/check up...

    Lakewood Ford in Tacoma charged me zero. The service rep said "there is hardly anything to do at this service so we make it complimentary."
  13. Ford App overestimating Efficiency

    Yes, I have seen some crazy numbers like that as well. Most certainly a software programming issue. If you really want to know your efficiency you need to calculate it yourself the hard way using the odometer and the number of kwh you add to get back to your starting point. The app is fiction...
  14. Cybetruck Interior Leaked!

    This may be a competitor to the Rivian, but certainly looking at a different market than a Lightning or future GMC or RAM product buyer. I get claustrophobia just looking at that picture. My ICE '93 Nissan Hardbody looks to have a bigger interior!
  15. Extra trip appearing in FPA

    Thanks, I'll run a test today, I have a couple of appointments out of town. I will map out my trip on Google Maps before hand and match it against what FPA says I did. I'll post it at the end of the day. Should be interesting.
  16. Extra trip appearing in FPA

    Just curious, are those having bugs and inaccuracy in the FPA using Android or iPhones or either. I use iPhone and for the most part it works very well.
  17. Are rodents a threat to the Lightning?

    I have two homes, one in the county on a small saltwater bay, the other in a small suburban township. In the suburban home, in a garage mice damaged my 4Runner, totaled my Audi A6. At the county home they invaded my shop, twice infested my boat and only my cell game cam alerted me in time to...
  18. Ford's Lightning; How they ruined a great product.

    My experience has been superb. Yes the wait was long, 17 months, but my dealer was fantastic in every phase of the sales process. Not a penny more than MSRP, installed extras at no cost for labor and during the order process kept me abreast of all delays and how best to get around them. I am...
  19. Remote Pro Power Onboard Control - Software Update 3.5.3

    Pro Power Onboard and Zone Lighting are neither one working from the app. I can remote start my Truck, I can set the cabin preconditioning and it works perfect. I can open and close the frunk and tailgate remotely. But I cannot use Pro Power Onoboard controls or Zone Lighting controls. At...
  20. What is this guy even talking about?

    Thanks for the info on ABRP. I had not heard of or used that one until now. I has a great algorithm!
